Film critic Devindra Hardawar argues that Christopher Nolan's *The Odyssey* is best experienced in a true IMAX 70mm theatre, having found the format far more immersive than a standard 70mm screening. As the first Hollywood film shot entirely on IMAX cameras, the epic's scale, sound and detail reportedly come through much more powerfully on a full-size IMAX screen, making the case for seeking one out despite the extra effort involved.

The reviewer compares seeing the film at a conventional cinema, the Tara in Atlanta, against a proper IMAX venue, the Regal Mall of Georgia, where the screen measures 60 feet tall and 81.5 feet wide, filling the viewer's entire field of vision and revealing details, such as a training scene involving Odysseus's son Telemachus, that were barely visible elsewhere. The article also highlights the film's practical, large-scale production, including full-sized ships and a Trojan Horse plus 2,000 extras, contrasting this with AI-generated alternatives, and quotes Nolan dismissing the idea that AI can replace human creativity.
